Much to like

Dear Nico,
Many thanks for posting these very nice pictures.
There is imho so much to like about this Longines ref. 7981-2:
- a diver chronograph to start with. How many brands did have that?
- the end of a long evolution / swan song of the 30ch line. I get gooze pimple just thinking about what about to come next...
- symmetrical traditional dial but with a twist with the asymmetry of the size of the 3 and 9 o' clock sub dials, plus this red cross hair line, to be found on other watches such as contemporary UG watches. So, very much a watch of its time.
- it's 'in its juice' condition. Original Lovely bezel, lovely lumes, original hands, crown, and the never polished sharp lugs...
As you mention, the fact that this watch can be still be found at a decent price is an added bonus.
Best
Z'
